WATCH THE LATEST SERMON

Each week, Pastor John Mark brings a sermon during our 8:30, 9:30 and 11 a.m. Worship Services. These sermons focus on biblical lessons, as well as practical, real-life application that you can apply to the everyday. If you miss a sermon in person, you can click below to watch it and get caught up.

As we enter the new year, we’re starting a new series, Unbreakable Joy! This series will explore the book of Philippians, which looks at the concepts of encouragement, joy and humility in the context of doing work for God.

Reality Apologetics Student Conference

Feb. 21-22 | Cottonwood Creek Church | Purchase Tickets

At STR’s Reality Conference, we show students that Christianity matches up with the way the world really is—with reality. It makes sense of the origin and design of the universe and life; the existence of objective truth and morality; the purpose, meaning, and value of human experience; the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus; and the existential longing of every human heart. In other words, we have reality on our side.

Unfortunately, many students are under the impression that Christianity is make-believe for grown-ups. At REALITY, we’re changing that by using our greatest ally: Reality. Christianity isn’t a made-up story divorced from reality; it is the true story of reality.
